"Dangerous"
New John McCain/Sarah Palin spot running nationally charges that Barack Obama and congressional Dems want to cut off funding to troops in Afghanistan.
Script For "Dangerous" (TV :30)
ANNCR: Who is Barack Obama? He says our troops in Afghanistan are
BARACK OBAMA: "... just air-raiding villages and killing civilians."
ANNCR: How dishonorable.
Congressional liberals voted repeatedly to cut off funding to our active troops.
Increasing the risk on their lives.
How dangerous.
Obama and Congressional liberals.
Too risky for America.
JOHN MCCAIN: I'm John McCain and I approved this message.
This is, once again, a total lie and you should present it as such.
Congressional Democrats have never called for defunding the war in Afghanistan, and Obama has repeatedly called for INCREASING the troops there.
And the quote that McCain uses is horrifically out of context, saying exactly the opposite of what they present it as.
Obama was saying we cannot reduce the number of troops we have there because then we will be reduced solely to bombing runs -- the kind of thing Donald Rumsefeld and his technological war ideas suppors -- which kill civilians. He never said that was what we were doing, just that we have to prevent it.
